Trump Declares War on House Democrats

Politico: “Three dramatic clashes between White House lawyers and congressional Democrats over the past 36 hours have created an atmosphere of total war … suggesting that even modest compromise may be impossible and that protracted court fights likely are inevitable.”

Stephen Collinson: “Trump’s stonewalling White House is mounting a multi-front assault on accountability, testing the notion that a president must answer to citizens for whom he holds a public trust.”

Playbook: “The White House can’t just summarily block all document production and testimony — Congress could hold people in contempt.”
